The Walnut Room, the restaurant inside Macy’s on State Street, is making pandemic changes. The historic restaurant, famed for its enormous Christmas tree and chicken pot pie, will mark the return of Chicago’s LGBTQ Pride celebrations in June by hosting the first drag brunch in its 114-year history.
It’s another sign of change as restaurants emerge from the pandemic, with elected officials lifting capacity restrictions. Award-winning local queen Lucy Stoole will host the brunch, slated for 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 12. She’ll feature performances from Ru Paul’s Drag Race contestant Kylie Sonique Love, lauded drag king Tenderoni, and Minneapolis-based chef and queen Sasha Cassadine.
Drag star endured ‘many ups and downs over the last 10 months’ Mimi Marks had only been doing drag for a few months when she walked into The Old Dutch Mill that night, 35 years ago in Iowa, to compete for the Ms. Waterloo crown.
“At that time, it was merely just for fun. I was dying to get into girls clothes. I was already (performing) in theater and dance clubs, so drag was an extension of both,” Marks said. “My evening gown was made of bright green upholstery fabric and I did Liza Minnelli for talent.”
She admittedly had “no idea” how she d do, if she d win, or even what responses she d get.
